Fly Away, Black Bird исправленный текст

Silence echoes through the empty room,
The wall clock ticks inside the gloom.
A bitter pain consumes my lonely soul,
I spend sleepless nights, I am not whole.

Suddenly a shadow by the window pane,
A sharp and persistent cry again...
A pitch-black raven sits upon the wood,
I know this wretched beast, I understood —
It brought the curse, the thief of all my good.

Black raven, you’re a clever bird of night,
Have you come to make your wrongs feel right?
Or are you here to give a tragic sign,
That it is time to end this life of mine?

Or did you fly to take my soul away,
To guide me where the shadows always stay?
Black raven, you’re a clever bird, I see,
I beg of you: please speak and answer me.

What will you tell me, black raven, tonight?
Whose heavy fate do you predict in flight?
My glass is filled with pain I cannot hide,
But I beg of you: don't keep your voice inside.

If it weren’t for that wild and cursed bird,
If that midnight foolishness never occurred,
If I had been the one behind the wheel,
Today you'd share this table and this meal.

What will you tell me, black raven, tonight?
Whose heavy fate do you predict in flight?
My glass is filled with pain I cannot hide,
But I beg of you: don't keep your voice inside.

The black bird stares directly in my eyes,
And in this gaze, I feel a shock arise...
I don't believe in signs or cosmic art,
But you are not a bird, I know by heart.

What if it’s you, my love, my sweetest dear,
Flying back to me to disappear?
To tell me softly: "Do not bear this blame,
Don't burn your soul inside this guilty flame"?
I feel your thoughts across the endless space,
An unseen bond that time cannot erase...

I will live on, my love, my soul is brave,
There is no rush, no time beyond the grave.
You will be waiting by the final door,
A fleeting moment there, and nothing more...

Fly away, black bird. I don't believe in signs,
But I believe in the unseen bond
Between those who lived in this earthly world
And loved each other with true, pure love.

Рецензии
Выложил именно здесь, а не исправил там, где сделан перевод. Потому что на старый вариант текста уже сделана красивая песня. А абсолютно точно (как мне кажется в данный момент) выражена мысль именно в этом варианте.
Изначально это было стихотворение на русском языке.
